Detecting angularJS elements in IE11 browser using selenium takes long time. How to resolve this?

Question

I'm running selenium tests on IE 11 in angularJS application. It takes more than usual time to detect/select/validate elements while it works better in chrome.

Browser information : Internet explorer 11 Webdriver : IEdriverserver 32bit selenium version: 3.14

My requirement is to run tests in IE. Isn't there any way to tackle this? — Vishy, Mar 18 '20 at 07:39

You could try the following methods to make it faster when using selenium IE WebDriver:

Download the recommended 32 bit Windows IE WebDriver version 3.150.1 and latest stable version 3.141.59 of Selenium from this page.
Change your IE settings: Tools -> Internet Options -> Security, set Enable Protected Mode to the same value in all zones (all checked or all unchecked).

Instantiate your InterExplorerWeDriver class with the path of your IE WebDriver like this:

InternetExplorerDriver ieDiver = new InternetExplorerDriver(“Path to the 32 bit IEdriver”);

Add capability nativeEvents as false. Add capability requireWindowFocus as true.
